Too much Facebook… and Roommate things.

Its like for the past few days so many things are going on involving this site… I finally changed some stuff, made a new profile for family-only and removed family from my “normal” page.  My mom freaked, as predicted.

She was so concerned, that something had happened.  That situation is a rant for another day.

Now we had some people lined up for next year since two roommates are leaving, it was pretty solid.  Then their parents got cold feet last minute and bailed, paying their housing deposit for Lesley instead.  The housing deposit is a non-refundable $500.  So much for that.

Its getting late in the semester now, everyone’s paid their housing deposits and generally found the apartment they want by now.  AND… the room that is open is a double room so that means we have to find two people to share a room.  Seems so straightforward… just find a couple or two people looking at the same time!  Yeah, right.  No one looking for an apartment wants to share a room, that’s one reason they get out of the dorms.  No one wants to share a room, instead they go out and find apartments that are more expensive where they can have their own rooms! (true story)

I’ve got some last-ditch ideas up my sleeve, but I put a listing on Facebook as a fallback.  Two random strangers are better than no people at all, and I certainly can’t afford to split the apartment AND utilities between only TWO people.  I’ve also already committed to extending the lease another year.

I got a message this evening from someone interested!  They looked sane, and seemed reasonable, but I found out they were allergic to cats.  Shot down.  But hey, that’s a good sign if on the first day there’s at least one response. Ideally, I’d like to get this dealt with by finding two people willing to share, and not have to resort to my slightly complex but potentially effective idea.  Occam’s Razor!  Eliminate the complexities!

Anyone with information or leads would be my hero.

I just hope things work out, and soon.  This is stress I do NOT need.  The semester ENDS on the 4th of may, and I’m feeling the pressure already.  Remember folks, 6 studio classes IS A BAD IDEA.  BAD.
